fiction
Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.
An Ye Harm None
A quick foreword: Writing (and reading) spooky coven stories is fun, like watching a cool exorcist movie. In reality though, there isn't a priest on every corner sending Dr. Dingaling the dastardly demon to time out in hell, and witches don't summon him back. In other words, they're just stories. This is one extremely loosely based on some Wiccan lore, but in no way, shape, or form represents Wiccan religion or beliefs. If you'd like to actually learn about the Wiccan faith (and you should, it's fascinating), I suggest you talk to a practitioner.

These four animals were his constant companions, which he cherished above everything else, even his own parents.
